Something I've been Jonesin' for for years is... something I don't know whether it even exists: A pedal that would allow you to morph between two entirely different guitar voicings - like as gradually as your foot is able to, rather than a hard, instantaneous A-B-Y switch.
The point-source for this lunatic idea is a moment early in Mr. Fripp's "Space Groove II" from the ProjeKct Two "Space Groove" disc. He's jamming along in a normal, thick guitar voicing, and then he holds a long note and it just changes - into a full-blown Frippertronics voicing. Here's the clip, and the morph I'm talking about happens between 1:55 and 2:05 in this particular YT posting:
I'm thinking this was likely done in the studio, but it got me thinking: What if I could take a pedal - like maybe a standard pan pedal? - and use it to just glide between two different voicings (i.e., effects loops,) seamlessly. Would a pan pedal work for this? Has anyone ever heard of a pedal that allows this?
If nonesuch exists I'm offering this as a Dear Santa to the S-D R&D team as a possible new product. I can't be the only one weird enough to want something like this... ?
Cheers,
